Kanye West is diving into a new venture as he is being reported as the executive producer for the new soundtrack for the upcoming WGN America series Underground. According to reports from Deadline and a casting call for the television show posted online, Underground “follows a group of slaves who plan a daring escape from a Georgia plantation to cross 600 miles to freedom, aided along the way by a secret abolitionist couple running a station on the Underground Railroad, as they evade those tasked with bringing them back, dead or alive.” The show will feature Christopher Meloni, Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Aldis Hodge and Jessica De Gouw. The series is on pace for a 2016 premiere.
